An Introduction

I maintained a blog from the years of 2000-2005. I recently read through a few entries in it, tidbits into a different chapter on my life. A time before I knew better, before I was who I am now. A time when I didn't know anything past what lay in front of me. Since then, I have experienced more and been exposed to the reality outside of the box I used to hide in. I view my life differently. I use my life in a different manner now and at times, I regret pieces that I have chosen to change.
I miss writing and I feel the longer I go without doing it, the more my skills diminish. I used to feel that I was a fairly adequate writer, but as time has gone by, it seems as if I have started to fail in that too. Therefore, I am starting up another blog to attempt to recoup those skills before they are lost forever. I can't guarantee that I will post often, if at all. But I feel I need somewhere to go when the urge to practice strikes me.
I doubt this will be a personal blog, that details all the aspects of my life. I have found that my writing tends to leave too much to personal interpretation, which then leads to gossip and hurt feelings. No, this will be a place for me to attempt to salvage that last bit of a skill that I once felt was something that I excelled at and fear that I am quickly losing.
That said, should you choose to follow my blog, please take everything said with a grain of salt. Please do not ask me to interpret what I write, what I say, or how I word it. Sometimes the words I write have nothing to do with what is happening around me or how I am currently feeling. I do not mind if you chose to read my writings, but please try to avoid to decode what I have to say. Chances are my words are only skin deep.
